The son of Princess Mette-Marit (51) just won't shut up.

The results show that the 27-year-old is believed to have had cocaine, ecstasy and cannabis in his system. This was reported by the Norwegian daily newspaper "Verdens Gang", which claims to have had access to the police report.

Ex-girlfriends accuse Marius Borg Høiby of violence
In an interrogation, the stepson of Norway's Crown Prince Haakon (51) admitted to being "drunk and high on cocaine" when he trashed his ex-girlfriend's apartment. Marius Borg Høiby is Mette-Marit's son from a previous relationship.
In the violent incident on the night of August 4, he physically attacked and threatened his former girlfriend. The authorities are still investigating him for damage to property and assault.
Two other ex-girlfriends of Marius Borg Høiby, Juliane Snekkestad (29) and Nora Haukland (27), have come forward: he is also said to have been violent towards them during the relationship.
Mental health problems and drug abuse
Marius Borg Høiby's defense lawyer Øyvind Bratlien finds the fact that the results of the drug test have now been made public "unnecessary and highly offensive". The 27-year-old had not been informed about this. According to the lawyer, he had already "previously declared that he had been struggling with drug use for a long time".
The police did not want to officially comment to the daily newspaper "for reasons of the investigation".
In a statement, Marius Borg Høiby admitted the acts of violence against the woman and wrote that he was suffering from mental health problems and drug abuse. He wanted to seek treatment for this.
"My substance abuse and my diagnoses cannot excuse what (...) happened," it continued. He wanted to take responsibility for this and tell the police the truth.
